# PuzzleWalk vs Tile Dark

The clearest difference is rating: Tile Dark at 4.6 against PuzzleWalk's 3.8. Tile Dark also leads on ratings volume (295 vs 6). PuzzleWalk's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tile Dark sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. PuzzleWalk asks for nothing beyond the download.

Tile Dark holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tile Dark has 295 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of PuzzleWalk's written reviews are positive against 50% of Tile Dark's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

PuzzleWalk ships an update every 3 weeks, Tile Dark every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
